• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup crushed pistachios (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until the batter is well combined and smooth.
3. Add the instant pistachio pudding mix, crushed pineapple (with juice), and chopped pecans to the batter. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
7. Meanwhile, in a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
8. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped cream frosting evenly over the top, covering the entire surface.
9. Sprinkle the crushed pistachios over the frosting as a garnish.
10. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
11. Serve chilled and enjoy!
